This book focuses on the notion of "vintage innovation" and its
application in various old technology-based communities of
practice. Some communities of practice resist and react to
technological change by adopting new technological products
("vintage products") that extend the lifetime of their old, favored
products and practices. There are a number of potential reasons for
such strategic reactions, which are analyzed by the author. The
book opens by reviewing the nature of technological change. Old
technology-based communities of practice and their typical
reactions to technological change are then discussed, and the
concept of vintage innovation, introduced and explained. The book
presents four case studies of communities of users in which vintage
innovation emerged: analog photographers, radio amateurs, arcade
videogame players, and disc jockeys. "
